reports, in such form and containing such information, as the Secretary
of Labor may from time to time require, and compliance with such
provisions as the Secretary of Labor may from time to time find
necessary to ensure the correctness and verification of such reports.''
Departmental regulations at 20 CFR 601.3 in part implement this
requirement by requiring the submission of ``all relevant state
materials, such as statutes, executive and administrative orders, legal
opinions, rules, regulations, interpretations, court opinions, etc. * *
*'' Also, the regulations for the Unemployment Compensation (UC) for
Federal Civilian Employees (UCFE) program at 20 CFR 609.1(d)(1) and for
the UC for ex-service members (UCX) program at 20 CFR 614.1(d)(1)

properly administering these programs. The Trade Adjustment Assistance
(which includes Trade Readjustment Allowances) program (TAA/TRA)
regulations provide similar requirements at 20 CFR 617.52(c)(1).
The Form MA 8-7 is the mechanism for implementing these submittal
requirements, the purpose of which is to provide the Secretary with
sufficient information to determine if (a) employers in a state qualify
for tax credits under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act; (b) the state
meets the requirements for obtaining administrative grants under Title
III, SSA; and (c) the state is fulfilling it obligations under Federal
UC programs. For additional information, see related notice published
in the Federal Register on January 25, 2010 (75 FR 3926).
